When Data together with a&nbsp; Dirichlet Instantiated Bayes Model are input to Estimate, new parameters--new
probabilities for each variable conditional on its parents' values--are calculated. by Bayes' Theorem. Unlike an
Estimate for an ML instantiated model, which simply ignores the previous parameter values, with the Dirichlet
Instantiated Bayes Model the Estimate function combines new Data with the prior probabilities in the model to produce
its parameter estimates.
